  • Also stripping a ropey wooden porch door frame, white gloss unknown age. Is nitromors better than sanding or heat gun when it comes to minimising potential lead fumes/dust?

  • You’ll be at either for absolutely ages if you use just Nitromors in my opinion. Sill will be masonry paint which may be very strong.

    I’d try heat on both, and resort to Nitromors if there is residue you can’t shift.

    Personally, I’d only worry about lead fumes I stripping paint was part of my daily job rather than DIY. Cycling in London probably does me more damage.

  • Heat gun, then sand the crispy bits off by hand. Don't forget to wear a mask when sanding.

    As for the stone sill, you can get hand held carborundum brick cleaners from Axminster Power Tools, give it a good rub and the paint may be gone. I use them on very soft, old bricks for the house.
